Following our meeting with Mr Bun Ban we have been busy finishing off the first round of signs for visitors from Kratie to Koh Trong.
We now have signs for directions on each of the four corners, KM markers, and signs for the two Wats, the Chedi, Beach, View Point, the Vietnamese Temple, and the Floating Village. Oum Ka kindly started his generator, hooked up his electric drill and helped us prepare the signs so they'll be easy to put up.
We had arranged for some posts to be delivered to start the process of erecting them around the island. Howvever it seemed that something was lost in translation and an ox-cart unexpectedly turned up a day ago carrying 8 large 2.5m tree trunks! So in order for these to be useable they will need to be sawn in half down the trunk and stripped of bark.

These will next need to be painted 'eco' green and then we're ready to tour the island with a work crew who (after site approval from the government) will set them in place and secure the signs.
It's our hope to move onto another round of more specific signs and information boards next so it'll be a great motivation once these ones are finally in place. So stay tuned for more updates on the project.
